  • Learn how to create Apache Maven projects from scratch
  • Discover how to use Maven with popular alternative Java Virtual Machine (JVM) languages, such as Groovy, Kotlin, and Scala

In Detail

Apache Maven is the most popular Java build tool used by over 70% of the Java organizations. Do you want to gain knowledge of Apache Maven to manage your Java applications successfully? This course will help you to develop Apache Maven skills and show you the best practices to build, test, manage, and deploy Java projects.

The course starts with an introduction to Apache Maven, explaining the installation process and highlighting its uses in the real-world. Next, you will use Maven to build and package Java projects and to run unit and integration tests written in JUnit, TestNG, and Spock. Moving along, you will generate source code from the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) schemas and get to grips with the concepts of the Apache Maven plug-in. Next, you will build the Spring Boot applications with Apache Maven and learn the techniques to improve the code quality. Later, you will develop multi-module Maven projects, deploy project artifacts to Maven repositories, and learn how to use Maven build profiles. Finally, you will use the Maven release plug-in to perform releases and discover enterprise dependency management using Bills of Materials (BOMs).

By the end of this course, you will have gained the essential Apache Maven skills needed to build, test, manage, and deploy Java applications.

Who this book is for

This course is for Java developers, DevOps engineers, technical managers, and Quality assurance (QA) engineers, who are looking to build, test, manage, and deploy Java applications using Apache Maven. Basic knowledge of Java programming is needed to get started with this course.
